Finally, a new hotel that doesn't play the "bland is better" game... *cough* Aria. One of the most unique resorts in town, the Cosmo has proved that creative features (Art-O-Mat) and quirky details (domino's in the commons area) are what people love about this town. With arguably the best selection of restaurants in town and a group of bars and lounges that put any hotspot to shame, this location proves you don't have to sacrifice whimsy and fun to be luxurious. And of course you have those gorgeous terraces...» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Wow, the energy in this place! If they manage to keep up the excitement level for another year or so, they stand to rewrite the Las Vegas hotel playbook. There's stuff all over the place; it's small, but there's a lot to explore and find. Definitely not for everyone (very modern and busy), but if you like it you'll REALLY like it. Buffet is the best in town.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

I think I got lucky. My room was gorgeous (dig the terrace), and I had no hotel operations related nightmares. The blackjack tables provided more fun than I'd had gambling in years. Scarpetta is phenomenal.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Ahhh... gotta love the rooftop pools, the ability to go outside without ever having to leave your room and being able to step right onto the Vegas Strip once you walk out the front door. Haven't stayed here yet and probably will not for a while but I like this place. I hope it stays being owned by someone other than MGM or Caesars.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Despite its flaws and varied reviews. Cosmopolitan offers a level of excitement that surpasses many other places on the strip. Let's start with the bad news. Yes, there are some technical flaws with the hotel service. We've experienced small technical issues with the television controlling the whole room, which in concept is awesome, but sometimes can be glitchy.

Now, the good stuff...EVERYTHING ELSE! Cosmo has the design, the restaurants, the clubs, the pools...everything you need for a true Vegas experience. There is nothing like standing on the balcony overlooking the strip at night. It is worth every dollar spent. Simply because you can't get that kind of privacy while having such a premium view.

Every time we visit, we always bring new friends and the look of awe on their faces when we first walk into the room, then out onto the balcony is priceless.

Must do:
1. Try Holsteins for a burger lunch.
2. Hit up the Bamboo pool. It's generally has a smaller crowd as opposed to the Blvd pool which can get packed early.
3. If you're a guest, you get into Marquee for free. Go early and check out the vibe. Leave when it starts getting crazy.
4. Find Secret Pizza.
5. Get a Fire Breathing Dragon at the second level Chandelier Bar
6. Talk to bartender Jennie at Book & Stage - she makes some wicked drinks.
7. Get a Don Johnson at Bond
8. Eat breakfast at the Overlook Cafe by the BLVD pool, get the Eggs Benedict.
9. Ask for a room in the East tower, facing north above the 25th floor. Prime Bellagio fountain view.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Something Different on the strip. Home of an amazing array of restaurants, and bars. The whole place is a work of art including The Chandelier bar.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

The Wrap Around Terrace I had in December was just beyond words...great service (sans house keeping...STILL). They're killin' it on everything BUT gambling! Best breakfast I've had in my entire life at the Henry! But I won't gamble there...their players club program is by far the biggest joke on the Strip, if not in the whole damn city!» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

This is my new GO TO place to stay and play. Bars, food and entertainment are all top notch. People watching? They got it. Hooker hunting? They got it. » To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is a gem amongst poop laden casinos surrounding it. The people are friendly and happy to see you, the slots are generous and flowing, the drinks are "Mixology" and are easily obtained with little play. The rooms are huge and clean. The bathrooms are excellent. The gift shop is awesome. John Unwin is an excellent CEO. » To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

I love everything about downtown and stay there for 10 of my 11 yearly trips. But when I'm on the Strip, I love everything about the Cosmo. Love the attitude and convenience of everything. I can wear a suit and not feel stupid. Plus Holsteins is one of my favorite eateries. But hell, I can only afford to do it once a year, hahaha. » To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Stayed there again for the 4th time and just love it. The concept of having a balcony in Las Vegas is incredible. I am not one to spend much time at all in my room, but being able to enjoy breakfast, a drink or just a few moments on the balcony makes the Cosmo totally unique. The quality of the room is top notch and the beds are super comfortable. The dining lineup is literally the best on the strip and the vibe throughout the resort is excellent. The bars are all fun and unique and the Cosmo has one of the top 2 clubs in Las Vegas. Contrary to many, I actually like the casino too. I think there's a good vibe there. And Rose.Rabbit.Lie? Pretty awesome! » To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

If I can visit only one property on the strip, it's this one. I liked the design immediately, and each food and drink experience has been as good as the last. Relax in the soaking tub and cool down on the terrace.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Really liked the Cosmo from the room and casino design through to the energy on the floor. Spectacular design details (from Freidmutter and David Rockwell) throughout and those floors by ArCon are amazing. Make sure to check out the columns in the lobby! City room was nicely appointed, not huge but certainly adequate. Great lounges and, of course, Marquee (the outside part anyway). » To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

What fun to see something actually new...Unlike lotsa of my old timey Vegas pals, I like the drive shown to do something bigger and better and nobody can fault anything presented by WET Design...» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Lovely casino, excellent dining, great views from rooms, inconsistent hotel operations. I feel priced out of the casino by the high minimums. Does anybody gamble here?» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Should you stay here? Hard to tell. If you know what "Pitchfork" is, and aren't turned off at the idea of skinny jeans being sold in the gift shop, but you still think the El Cortez or Artisan is ghetto, then do it. If you have cash to blow and want some of the craziest views in Vegas, then do it. Otherwise, you might prefer to walk here from another property and see what they're all about.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Considering she is the new kid in the strip she is pretty cool. Gonna give her a little longer on her shake down cruise before actually checking in to a room.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Famous for rooms with balconies overlooking the Bellagio Fountains. Good restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Beautiful casino with a great vibe.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Loved my balcony hotel room overlooking the Bellagio fountains. Best view in town. Great F&B program, but it's slipped a little in recent years. Hope they step it up again, soon.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

What can I say? I'm a sucker for a terrace. Sure, there are occasional housekeeping issues here. Yes, there are packs of heel rats and boys with faux-hawks in filligreed t-shirts. But there's also a lot of great bars, lounges, and restaurants in a beautiful setting. I freaking love China Poblano. And room service on a private terrace overlooking Lake Bellagio is an experience unlike any other. Fave.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

This place sparkles. It has the colors, patterns, and shimmer that amuse my brain. I plan to hide away in the many available chill-out spots, and soak in the trendy cool.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

One of the best drink service casinos on the strip. Strong variety of booze, and available at all levels. Waitresses are prompt and easy on the eyes, along with much of the clientele.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Gorgeous hotel with slightly less than impressive rooms featuring amazing views. Service needs a fix or two, but once it gets up to par the sky's the limit.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

From a design standpoint, I love everything the Cosmopolitan has done. The chandelier bar, the colors, the bars, and the hidden pizza shop all work for me. The pits, however, don't work for me as the table minimums are a bit extreme. I'll still hang out here, but I don't really go here much to play.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

The Cosmo has an amazing beverage program at all of it's bars. It's always very good people watching and it has such an interesting design aesthetic wherever you are. Love it! The secret pizza place is the only restaurant I've eaten at there and it was some tasty NY-style pizza!» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Still a great place to dine and drink, but the hotel is a bit out of my price range, especially when I can get some of the nicest rooms at Caesars for what they want for their most basic room. » To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Perfect place to base myself for a 48 hour trip to Sin City. Stayed in one of the Terrace Studio Suites with fountain view and loved being perched so high above the strip. The Bamboo Pool was great for chilling during the day, and at night I did manage to win a nice amount playing blackjack. Would definitely stay here again!» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Great time here - rooms are awesome (that view!), and casino is fun, just watch what you play or you'll get suckered into a crappy payout game.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

The room with the balcony is amazing. Standing outside looking at the fountains is great. The bathtub is really small, but everything else in the room is great. There is a separate living area from the bedroom that is nice for company, and everyone is really impressed walking out on the balcony. The table games don't have great rules, but just based on the room this is a great place.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

My husband and I travel a lot. The Cosmopolitan is one of, if not the best hotel we've ever stayed in and we are hotel snobs! The attention to detail within the decor is amazing as well as the high tech and contemporary feel. The restaurants are also all amazing! We stay here every year and wouldn't stay anywhere else (because we stay for free).» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Returned in December 2015 and partook in what Cosmo has offered (hasn't stayed yet - working on that), and I was even more impressed than from my last trip. Yes, you're going to pay a bit more (and gamble a bit more - most blackjack tables are at least $25, craps at least $15), but you the premium treatment you get is worth it. Cosmo is now one of my more favorite places on The Strip to hang out, drink at, gamble at, etc.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Everytime we book a room at the Cosmo they always end up upgading us to the Terrace Onee Bedroom. Love the deep japanese soaking tub overlooking the strip» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Love the bars and restaurants - have not stayed here yet, but certainly want to soon! Can you say Verbena? Secret Pizza and China Poblano are must stops when in town. » To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

So much to love, and so much that could be better. The Cosmo is rightly known for its great assortment of restaurants and bars. The rooms are also quite nice, particularly if you get a 1-bedroom suite or higher category room facing Bellagio's fountains. And unlike some, I've had good experiences in the casino and with the Identity program. But uneven housekeeping service, worn furnishings, and an at-times incompetent front desk will have my thinking twice about future visits, even if it does count towards my Marriott rewards account.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Great Happy Hours or as they call them Social Hours at all their restaurants. Overall favorite is the Social Hour at Scarpetta. Both the Short Rib and Bone Marrow Agnolotti and the Duck & Foie Gras Ravioli are amazing» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Amazing bars and killer restaurants and great staff! Too bad the decor is extremely "fabulous," the gambling conditions suck and the crowd is mostly composed of Jersey Shore rejects. The food and booze is at the very top of the scale, though, and makes braving the douchebags worthwhile. » To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Great casino, my favorite bars on the strip, best location in town. Sadly we were so dissapointed with our wraparound suite that I doubt we will ever stay there again. Bummer. We were looking forward to calling this place "home"» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas

Our second location. Good resort but overrated for casino players. Slot play is good but tables are not up to par. Go across the road to Planet Hollywood for better play. Rooms are nice with the balconies but lack of drawers in the cupboards is a real pain and bathroom light in the bedroom is not good. We are not bar people so that aspect is lost on us. Buffet is overrated. Location is our main reason to visit.» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas
